Windows 10 LTSC 2021 edition has support until January 13th 2032.
I'd obviously prefer if more people gave Linux a try but if you're literally forced to use Windows then it's probably your best option right now.
If my Nvidia graphics card played nicely, I would.
It's my #1 complaint with Linux... Well Nvidia.
Progress in that regard is actually pretty rampant lately, I can imagine by the time Windows 10 is EOL it will be no different from AMD.
*for 20-series and later graphics cards
Well, it will be slightly different. AMD releases open source drivers. That's why it works so much better. Nvidia releases proprietary ones and let's the community handle the open source ones. To the end user, there probably won't be much difference eventually, but it does hurt progress so they'll always be slightly behind where they could be.
One of the latest developments is an open-source Nvidia driver developer being hired by Nvidia and continuing their work on it, so it's technically not fully true anymore. They'll definitely stay behind for a while longer but it seems to finally be looking good for once.
